Project Description

Karukkumaduwa Vidyalaya is a rural school located in Karukkumaduwa village, far from the Andigama town area in the North Western Province of Sri Lanka. The school serves 106 students from grades 1 to 11, all from economically disadvantaged families. Most parents work as daily laborers in coconut estates, rice fields, or in a nearby coconut factory, earning very low wages.

For many years, the school suffered from a lack of a proper water supply. Students and staff faced daily challenges in accessing clean drinking water and maintaining sanitation. In some instances, water had to be purchased, placing an extra financial burden on already struggling families who could not afford the cost.

Location

Karukkumaduwa Village, near Andigama, North Western Province, Sri Lanka.

Reason to choose this project

Due to the long-standing absence of a functional water system, both drinking water and sanitation facilities were inadequate. The school urgently needed a sustainable water supply solution to support student health, hygiene, and learning.

  • Reconstructed and cleaned the open well, and installed a well cover for safety.

  • Supplied and installed three new solar panels and an iron support tower for the solar system.

  • Supplied a water pump with an electrical panel board.

  • Laid a 650-meter-long new pipeline from the source well to the school and throughout the school premises.
